Traffic crash and assault on ambulance officer and police in Glenvale, QLD

Police are investigating after an altercation, traffic crash and subsequent assault on an ambulance officer in Glenvale last night, Queensland Police say.

Around 5pm, a man and a woman were asked to leave a gathering at a residence on Glen Avon Court.

When the pair went back to their car, an argument ensued with a male and female occupant of the home who were standing outside the car.

It will be alleged that the driver, a 29-year-old Helidon woman, reversed the car with the passenger door still open and knocked the two people who were standing beside the car to the ground.

The car then drove off, before reversing into a garden bed at a neighbouring property in Strathconan Drive.

It will be further alleged that as the car drove onto Biscay Crescent, it collided with two parked vehicles before rolling onto its roof and colliding with a third car.

The female driver got out of the vehicle and helped her passenger, a 28-year-old Mount Lofty man, out.

While the woman was being transported to the Toowoomba Base Hospital for treatment of facial lacerations, facial swelling and mouth injuries, she allegedly punched a female Queensland Ambulance Service officer in the arm and elbowed her in the chest.

The woman then allegedly got out of the ambulance and ran east along Glenvale Road towards ANZAC Avenue.

Police patrols located the woman a short time later near a fast food restaurant.

She was arrested and placed back inside the ambulance to be transported to hospital.

Upon arrival, the woman allegedly spat blood at a police officer which landed on his face.

A 28-year-old man was also transported to hospital for treatment of injuries

A 29-year-old Helidon is currently assisting police with their enquiries.
